1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions:
For the Chicken Tenders:
Prepare the Breading Station:
In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Bread the Chicken:
Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Fry the Chicken:
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken tenders in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
For the Honey Mustard Dip:
Mix the Dip:
In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, and mayonnaise (if using). Stir until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
